How much time do you struggle to edit AI-generated "slop" in your teams’ work? We built a system to help automate the process.
Our Scientific Slop Index (SSI) measures scientific slop in a draft not only looking at words but also investigating their scientific reasoning process: whether sections build on one another, claims and citations are argued, and the method and evidence can be inspected.
Upload your paper and see what it finds!
🌐 Project: yerimoh.github.io/scientific…
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2610.00531
🤗 Benchmark: huggingface.co/datasets/yeri…
We plan to run the system on 60K ICLR submissions. Stay tuned!
We’re looking for collaborators, sponsors, and contributors. Have examples of scientific slop you’ve encountered? Submit them to help expand our benchmark—or reach out if you’d like to get involved.
AI detectors read your sentences. We read your scientific reasoning and score its slop.
Every ICLR year, 2017–2025: papers with more our "scientific slop" got lower reviewer ratings and were rejected more often.

Can a model adapt itself according to each incoming prompt? Our recent paper shows that it is indeed possible.
Under the leadership of CS&E Professor Zhi-Li Zhang, the DRIVE-SAFE project recently completed a successful test drive at the University of Utah this July.
This $7 million project aims to improve 5G networks in order to enable AV teleoperations.
